Our new president says something dishonest, delusional or ignorant virtually every day. The other day he stepped up his game and shifted to bellicose, belligerent and ignorant, in threatening North Korea. The major television media outlets (the ones who sell political advertising) immediately amplified his statement tenfold and began discussing the imminence of World War III. They are better at saber-rattling than President Donald Trump is. They ask; "What is his foreign policy? and "What is his agenda?' After seven months of his presidency, they should realize he has no policy or agenda.

President Trump is the human embodiment of a corporation. Devoid of compassion, empathy and a moral compass, he has only two priorities: embellishing his image, and profiting as much as is possible from any situation. It's really quite simple.

His saber-rattling is much ado about nothing. The press beating the war drums? That's about their ratings and their income. They're just like him, and they deserve each other.

I would like to think we Americans deserve better, but we're not very discerning about news, and more than 40 percent of us never vote, so maybe we are where we should be.
